      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced x86_64 compute instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and 128 GB RAM for general-purpose enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.g7a.8xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7T83 processor running at 2.55 GHz on the KVM hypervisor. It lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, utilizing an 8 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU execution and strong Passmark memory scores, though uncached large-block memory write bandwidth is a notable bottleneck, falling into the bottom 25%. Multi-core performance, software compilation, and database operations remain in the average tier. This hardware profile is suited for general-purpose enterprise applications, static web serving, software compilation, and small-scale language model inference.

      Workload Profiles

      1.1Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
